COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2019--
CyrusOne a premier global data center REIT, has celebrated breaking ground for its data center site in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

In many ways, Council Bluffs, with its location on the 41st parallel, is the epicenter of this new digital era. The world’s leading cloud companies continue to invest billions of dollars along this parallel across multiple states and planting a flag in Council Bluffs will allow our customers to capitalize on this unique part of the United States fiber network,” said Gary Wojtaszek, CEO of CyrusOne. “We are excited to partner with Mayor Matt Walsh and the city of Council Bluffs as we help bring local jobs and investment to Iowa.”

“CyrusOne is a respected leader within the data center industry,” said Mayor Matt Walsh of Council Bluffs. “Their company’s success and continued growth are directly attributable to consistently providing their customers with robust technology solutions that answer businesses' unique need for information while overcoming limiting data capacity constraints.
